Here's what I know on the subject.
Line Regiments were provided with pre-made cartidges (paper tubes containing powder and a ball. As far as I know the balls were cast either by the Board of Ordnance and delivered to private contractors for making into cartridges or by private contractors who also made the cartidges. The cartidges were then packed for shipment and issued in the field to the troops.
The Rifle Regiment (95th) on the other hand was handled a bit differently. They were provided pre-made cartidges is two sizes, material to make their own cartidges, and loose ball and powder.
Regarding pre-made cartidges, Bailey noted in his book that "On September 23 1800 the contractor Charles Smith billed the Ordnance for 40 tin powder measures delivered at the Tower for use by the Rifle Corps: 20 were to hold 3 drams of powder for balls 17 to the lb. and 20 to hold 3 1/2 drams of powder for balls 16 to the lb. These were intende for loading cartridges fo rthe carbine-bore and musket -bore rifles respectively." The sizes of the balls is a bit confusing since the the size of the balls universally defined for the carbine bore rifles is defined as 20/lb. there is also reference of using balls sized 22/lb. when they were to be pre-patched and incorporated into cartridges. (The odds small sizes my have been the result of clerks assumeing that the diference between bore size and ball size should be comperable to that used for the Brown Bess, and not understanding the concept of rifling.)
Records also indicated that in addition to finished cartridges, the 95th also recieved the material to make their own cartridges; paper (fine white and whited-brown), balls (20/lb and 22/lb), and powder (fine glazed FG).
As I stated above they also were issued loose balls, patching material, and loose powder for use by the riflemen directly. Again, the balls sizes include 20/lb. and 22/lb. balls.
Patching for both cartridges and loose ball shooting runs the gammut. Regimental instructions from 1803 state that patching was to be made of greased rag or leather. Requistions indicate Linen, Ticking, course weave cloth, and Fustian for patching.
Information on lubrication also runs the gammut from; grease, Tallow, to wax.
Finally, according the regimental instructions, every rifleman was instructed in the method of making up his own ammunition. Casting balls, covering them with rag or leather, and greasing them. Each Company Commander was charged with ensuring the his company had sufficient moulds to be able to provide it cast all the balls he might need if separated form the ammunition train for a "long time".
As a side note, before the issue of the 1800 Pattern Infantry Rifle earlier rifles procured by the Board of Ordnance and issued to troops in the field were each provided with bullet mould of the proper size for that rifle.
Hope this helps. :hatsoff:
